70% to pass

Each life float on an inspected vessel shall be fitted and equipped with _______________. (small passenger vessel regulations)

A two paddles, a light, and a lifeline
B a lifeline, a painter, and one paddle
C two paddles, a light, a lifeline, a painter and pendants
D a lifeline, a painter, and a water light
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) two paddles, a light, a lifeline, a painter and pendants. This is the correct answer because the small passenger vessel regulations (46 CFR 185.330) specify that each life float on an inspected vessel must be equipped with two paddles, a light, a lifeline, a painter, and pendants. The regulation requires these specific items to be provided on each life float in order to ensure the safety and functionality of the survival craft in an emergency situation. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not fully meet the regulatory requirements. For example, option A is missing the painter and pendants, while option D is missing the paddles, light, and pendants.
